Synopsis

The chapter provides information about the upcoming competition, including individual and group stages, and the lack of provided armor or healing. The main character, Lee Hojae, reviews forum information about the competition. He then advises another Hell Difficulty challenger on his combat weaknesses and also observes the difference in how other challengers approach the dungeon floors; they prioritize survival over progress. He ultimately decides to form a party for the group stage with fellow Hell Difficulty challengers as suggested by a friend, despite their lack of experience, as a means to help them improve for future floors.
